    The old live mic during the break.  Fixed with 1m 35sec of the break remaining :D

    Grundy getting plenty of chances, but his goal kicking is classic Melbourne.

    Liking Grundy"s movement in the fwd's

    Let’s remember that Coburg are a terrible team. But I like his attitude. Getting involved and taken some nice marks. The forwardline for Casey is so open. Our AFL forwards would die for this much space.

    Duursma is going to be a gun.  

    He's certainly passing the audition so far

    I hate the way the VFL has been merged with the Reserves.

    Tomorrow I get to watch the Demons Reserves (aka Casey) play a torpedo punt* from my home. But I'll feel like a goddamn traitor when my Coburg drinking buddies see me in red and blue. Any other week I support the Lions.

    Coburg Lions are really struggling this year. It's hard to compete against AFL clubs and professional athletes. 

    All Demon fans going to Coburg, please eat as many snags and chips as you can, and drink the Coburg Lager. Help keep the Lions viable. 

    * I'm probably talking 5 x Malcolm Blight torps if I'm honest

    My understanding was that the standalone VFL Clubs have a  substantially higher salary cap than the AFL-affiliated Clubs which meant that theoreiically they should have a better chance of attracting high level talent that is not on AFL lists. Certainly Werribee are very successful this year which I'm assuming is partly because of that. Having said that, is there any funding of the standalone clubs by the AFL? I assume it depends on whether a club is well enough resourced to use  their full salary cap?

    The standalone clubs ladder positions currently are: Werribee 2nd, Williamstown 7th, Southport 14th (but runners up last year), Port Melbourne 15th, Frankston 18th, Northern Bullants 20th, Coburg 21st (bottom). A mixed bag but generally struggling.

    Spargo too good for his level. Hibbo could play blind and be too good for this level. Grundy getting involved. Schache taking the literal [censored] at this level. 
     

    Verrell looks good. I see potential.

    Excellent work by Grundy. Crashes a pack at CHF and roves his own work, then a quick dish off ending up with the Shack directly in front.

    That's his bag. If he can break packs and follow up quickly it's the best of both worlds for him.

    I hope they keep playing him high half forward and push Schache deeper. That would suit him and us better.

    Harmes playing well too. I love his link up play, though I reckon Woewodin might have stolen his spot.

    If the goal of our forwards in the ones is to bring the ball to ground 

    then i dont see an issue with Grundy playing forward.

    He has taken marks and kicked a few goals at the level.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
